Installing from the TinyTERM 4.50 MSI package on some Windows systems gives the following message:

Error 1722.
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

On uninstall, a different error comes up:

Error 1721
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

Both problems are fixed in TinyTERM 4.53.

The following CScript causes TinyTERM to crash about 20 seconds after it completes. The script simply draws a window, then allows the user to pick a phone number from a list provided by a plain text data file. It then displays the selected phone number in the TinyTERM window:

// initialize variables

var numsites = 5; // change this value for the actual number of sites in the file
var site = dimstr(numsites);
var phonenum = dimstr(numsites);
var listfile = "QLClist.txt"; // change for actual list file
var tempstr,counter;
var chosen = -1;
var tempInt;

// read phone numbers from list file

fopen(1,listfile,"RA");
counter = 0;
while (counter < numsites)
{
tempstr = freadln(1,-1);
site[counter] = field(tempstr,1,_asc("="));
phonenum[counter] = field(tempstr,2,_asc("="));
counter++;
}

fclose(1);

// create listbox window

tsl_dlgopen( 76, -1, -1, 240, 320, 0, 0, 200, "Dialing List", "");
tsl_atobjinit();
counter = 0;
while (counter < numsites)
{
tsl_atobjaddlist(site[counter]);
counter++;
}
tsl_atobjdone(111,9,5,5,250,200,(0)|16385,"","",0,0,-1,"chosen", "");
tsl_atobjinit();
tsl_atobjdone(101,13,260,5,0,0,(258)|16384,"&Dial","",4,412,-1,"", "");
tsl_atobjinit();
tsl_atobjdone(102,13,260,35,0,0,(258)|16384,"Cancel","", 8,27,-1,"", "");
tsl_at_read( 0, "", 13);
tsl_wclose( 76);

tempInt = _asc(chosen) - _asc("0");
te.display(site[tempInt] + "\r\n");
te.display(phonenum[tempInt] + "\r\n");

return(0);

The bug is in the tsl_atobjinit(); command. It’s fixed in TinyTERM 4.53.

Install TinyTERM Thin Client on a Citrix server. Connect to the server from a Windows 3.11 PC. If TinyTERM is configured to print direct to device LPT1: without the Flush Output option checked, the print job does not print until TinyTERM is closed. With the Flush Output option checked, the print job prints slowly and the emulation screen does not return control until the entire print job is finished.

This is not a TinyTERM issue. It was resolved by removing the printers, then reconnecting to Citrix. That re-adds the printers, fixing the printing problem.

Install TinyTERM Web Server Client version 4.42 or 4.50 on the PC. Start the TinyTERM Emulator. You’ll get a license error.

Select 30-day Eval and choose TinyTERM Web Server. You’ll get an error popup with just “dlgplus.res” in it.

Copy C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM\dlgwcus.res to that file name. The next time you start TinyTERM Emulator you’ll get either a “Get Property CS86” or “ID” error, depending on whether you started tt.exe or clicked a .tpx link on a web page.

It has been requested that Century Software, Inc., let the VNC server daemon included in PIXIL Thin Client have an option to always run. Customers would also like it to accept a user-defined password that can be changed either via the menu or the command prompt. This has not yet been implemented.

CR 843

It has been requested that Century Software, Inc., move the Shutdown button from the Terminal tab to either the Login tab, or to a new window that is always on top.

If the terminal emulation in TinyTERM is set to any emulation that uses \033[5i as the transparent print on code — SCOANSI, ANSI, VT220, etc. — printing to the Windows printer produces no output. If you check Bypass Printer Drivers, then it works, provided the printer allows it. This only affects TinyTERM 4.42.

CR 720, fixed in TinyTERM 4.43

In TinyTERM’s Session Properties, click the Setup button next to the Emulation line. In the “VT Emulations” section, look at the drop-down list under National Replacement Character Set. One of the options is CANDIAN. It should read CANADIAN, of course.

CR 715, fixed in TinyTERM 4.43

The German menus in TinyTERM 4.42 and earlier versions have an error. Where they should say “Deutsch,” they read “Deutsche” instead.

CR 704, fixed in TinyTERM 4.43

Configure TinyTERM’s Printer Setup with the Ignore print requests option. On starting TinyTERM, you must go into Printer Setup and click OK, or transparent print jobs happen anyway. No actual changes need to be made, just clicking OK.
